TL;DR · CAD Electromagnetic RFIC Simulation Engineer

As a CAD Electromagnetic RFIC Simulation Engineer at Apple, you will join the cutting-edge CAD team responsible for developing next-generation electromagnetic analysis methodologies. Your daily tasks include maintaining and supporting leading vendors' 3D solvers and Method-of-Moments tools, automating SOC EM analysis flows, and collaborating with design groups to ensure robust signal integrity across advanced packaging systems. You will work closely with EDA vendors and foundries to qualify and enhance tools, applying your expertise in Maxwell’s equations and field theory. Essential skills include experience with EDA tools, CAD flow, RFIC methodology, and scripting languages such as Tcl, Python, or Perl. Preferred qualifications involve hands-on knowledge of industry-leading EM solvers like HFSS, Clarity, and Helic/VeloceRF, along with development experience in large-scale software environments using C/C++, TCL, Shell, SKILL, and other programming languages.

What you'll do

  • Maintain and support leading vendors' Electromagnetic Finite-Element 3D solvers.
  • Streamline SOC EM analysis CAD flow with full ownership of the process.
  • Develop and validate EM simulation flows using FEM and MoM techniques.
  • Model complex package and interposer structures for high-accuracy S-parameter extraction.
  • Collaborate with EDA vendors on tool qualification, debugging, and enhancements.

What we're looking for

  • Extensive experience in EDA tools and CAD flow for RFIC methodologies.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Tcl, Python, or Perl.
  • Expertise in Electromagnetic analysis including extraction, timing, noise simulation.
  • Hands-on knowledge of industry-leading EM solvers like HFSS, Clarity, Helic/VeloceRF.
  • Experience developing large-scale software in multi-tech, multi-user environments.
